3853 Ocean Spray - One Block to the Beach
Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present "Ocean Spray"! This vacation home sleeps up to 6 guests.
Set in one of Monterey’s most unique neighborhoods, this 937-square-foot bungalow is just one block from Del Monte Beach. Walls washed in soft blues and sandy-toned wood floors give this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home a strong beachy vibe.
The rooms of this charming bungalow are arranged in a U-shape, centered around a courtyard patio that is accessed from the living room, kitchen/dining room and primary bedroom. The yard is fenced.
Living Space The living room features board and batten walls and is comfortably appointed with leather furnishings. The centerpiece is a gas fireplace with brick surround, handsome wood mantel with a 70” HDTV mounted above. Well-equipped for extended stays!
Kitchen and Dining The kitchen has a fun, retro feel and is equipped with a vintage 4-burner Wedgewood gas stove, Kenmore refrigerator/freezer, Bosch dishwasher, microwave and all the small appliances you’ll need for a comfortable stay. A wood dining table with chairs and a bench seats 6 and is located conveniently between the kitchen and sliding glass doors that lead to the patio. Here, you’ll find a Weber grill plumbed with natural gas and comfortable seating that provides a shaded spot for relaxing after a day of exploring.
Bedrooms and Bathrooms Bedroom #1 features a queen bed, 55” HDTV and sliding glass doors that open onto the front patio. It has direct access to one side of the unique bathroom described below. Bedrooms #2 and #3 are each furnished with a queen bed, nightstands with lamps, a dresser, large closet and ceiling fan/light. Ample windows invite in the natural light.
Bathrooms are conveniently located to all the bedrooms. A cleverly laid out and efficient design includes a half-bath with commode, vanity and sink at each end, with a shared Jack and Jill style shower-over-tub in the center. Doors at each of the entrances can be closed to ensure privacy.
The attached garage houses the washer and dryer and has ample room for one car. Driveway parking for one car and on street parking is available.
Families with young children will love the close proximity to a small playground nearby. This property is a short stroll to Del Monte Beach that stretches for miles in both directions. Walk the beach or the 18-mile Monterey Bay Recreation Trail to the commercial pier where you can watch as the catch of the day is unloaded and purchase fresh seafood. There are classic dining options on the pier and nearby. Follow the path around the marina to Custom House Plaza, Old Fishermen’s Wharf and historic downtown Monterey. A little further down is the world-renowned Monterey Bay Aquarium.
It’s just a short drive to charming Peninsula communities including Carmel-by-the-Sea, Pacific Grove, Pebble Beach, Del Rey Oaks, Seaside, Sand City and Marina. Shops, restaurants that span the cuisines of the world, bakeries, brew pubs, wine tasting rooms, cafes and grocery stores are within a mile-or-so walk or a short drive away. A Farmer’s Market can be found most days of the week, nearly year-round.
Hiking opportunities are at the Fort Ord National Monument, located on the former Fort Ord military base. It's home to 44 species of rare plants and animals and more than 86 miles of trails that can be explored on foot, bike or on horseback.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the house. The house is in a quiet neighborhood next to a great beach. We walked on the beach to Fisherman’s wharf. The nearby Monterey Fishhouse is a must place to eat. The house was very clean and the kitchen is well equipped.

Reviewer Comments:
This was for my husband, my mother and myself. We loved this rental. It looked like everything was new, fresh and very clean. Beds were very comfy. The location is so near everything. Loved taking my dog to walk on the boardwalk, just 2 blocks away to beautiful sunsets. My suggestions would be to have a file folder with how things operate, cable company, etc. The stove is very cute, but soooo hot. It runs 115 degrees without turning off. I called the management company the first night at 11pm and the electrician told me those old stoves keep hot, especially the top of stove. So,maybe you could put that little tidbit in the book. The only other drawback was walking in the sand for the garbage cans, but I think the front landscaping is undergoing a redo. All in all, we loved this house and would recommend it to anyone.
